Fika with Greg Walsh and Skipper Warson

Greg Walsh believes that if you want to design for kids, you have to design with them. For the last several years, he has led the University of Baltimore’s intergenerational design team, KidsteamUB, through which children and adults work as partners to design new technologies used for education and entertainment. In this Fika break, we talk to Walsh about co-designing with kids, the future of design education (hint: if you want to solves more problems, co-design from K-12 and beyond), what’s wrong with the Maker Movement, and the limitless imagination of children.

Om Podcasten

Named for the Swedish custom that eschews the ‘on-the-go paper coffee cup’ routine in favor of slowing down and catching up with colleagues and friends, the Fjord Fika podcast features unscripted conversations with key luminaries and thought leaders in technology and design. Sometimes strange, but always interesting, each Fika conversation offers a fresh, honest look at all sides of innovation – the good, the bad and the ugly – and the impact on society. Fjord is a design and innovation consultancy, part of Accenture Interactive.
